One recenttechnology of particular interest to the educational community is the wiki, a Web systemthat supports collaborative construction. Wikis include a simple syntax for buildingand modifying content and a model in which anyone can edit and add material.Perhaps the most famous wiki is Wikipedia, a large-scale collaboratively-developedonline encyclopedia whose range and accuracy have reached those of Britannica. Inthis tutorial, we will explore the basic features of wikis, consider a variety of wikibasedexercises and assignments using both class wikis and Wikipedia, and explorethe details of how one chooses and installs a wiki. Participants will receive a handbookthat describes a variety of assignments in context and that guides them inchoosing the appropriate wiki software for their classes.Objectives:• Introduce participants to the features of wikis, collaborative hypertext systems.We will consider both local wikis, intended for only a single class orinstitution, and global wikis, such as Wikipedia.• Consider a variety of educational applications of both kinds of wikis.• Help participants design their own educational exercises that use wikis;• Provide participants with the knowledge to select the appropriate local wikisystem for their class.Outline:I. Orientation [30 min]1. Review purpose and structure of tutorial. Discuss handouts.2. Ice-breaker exercise: Collaborative editing. Distribute a variety of topics andask participants to (a) write, (b) pass to neighbor, (c) edit, and (d) repeat.3. Wiki Basics: History, purpose, key features, etc.II. Sample Sessions [30 min]1. Edit page on tutorial wiki. Choose one of the topics from the ice-breaker andincorporate edits. Show how to view different versions and compare versions.2. Create new page on tutorial wiki.3. Evolution of an article on Wikipedia (Technology).4. Create a new article on Wikipedia.5. Revisit key features.III. Educational Applications [30 min]Each application will be presented as a form of design pattern that describesthe student level, type of class, and learning goal/context. I've just included a fewhere for reasons of space. The handout will describe these in more depth.1. Simple Web site construction: Students use a wiki to build a Web site (noHTML necessary).2.
